The match between Academico de Viseu FC U23 and Rio Ave U23 was finely poised, with Academico de Viseu FC U23 securing a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive goal arrived shortly after the second half resumed, ultimately swaying the match in favor of the home side. Although both teams were evenly matched in terms of corner kicks, each registering two, the decisive difference lay in the clinical finish of the home team, converting their opportunity just minutes into the second half.

Academico de Viseu FC U23 displayed a disciplined defensive structure, reflected in their strategic offside traps which caught Rio Ave U23 offside six times compared to their own one infringement. This effectively disrupted the rhythm of Rio Ave’s attacks and limited their chances to threaten the home team's goal. Despite their disciplined backline, the home team incurred multiple yellow cards as they committed fouls to intercept dangerous plays, showcasing their willingness to control the game's tempo.

In contrast, Rio Ave U23 faced challenges in breaking down the compact defense of their opponents. Their offensive efforts were hampered by their higher need for quicker adaptation to the offside traps. The two yellow cards they received denote their struggle to maintain composure in key moments. Despite registering the same number of corner kicks, Rio Ave U23 could not capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, highlighting their struggle for creativity and incisiveness in the final third. The inability to convert these chances ultimately cemented their downfall in a match where minor details made all the difference.
